Tribute to DC

[[1RGR]LD|Pvt.Amerikai]

DC, Desert Combat, the original idea. BF2 is essentially that game. While they may have ripped off DC big time, they at least have us remember who started DC in the first place. If you look on the SCUD Launched in DC, its got the numbers '818' on it, the SAME numbers are on the bottom of the Blackhawk. Check it out, I thought it was pretty cool.

And oh yea, DC is the best game ever. A real guilty pleasure

Who cares?

I like it. If you don't, play your DC.

You obviously never played that game; it was stupid fun, shooting down planes with tank guns, free-falling for minutes, point-blank rpg kills.

Re: Tribute to DC

A very unbalanced mod where tanks/planes ruled and infantry were useless.

Re: Tribute to DC

It was a hundred times better than the original bf2, fantastic mod for its time.
Though, I prefer Bf2, its just a cleaned up version of DC.
Never noticed the 818.

Re: Tribute to DC

How, exactly, did they "rip off" DC? Your post makes it sound like Dice came in and stole the mod -- they didn't, they hired Trauma Studios (the makers of DC) to help make BF2.

Re: Tribute to DC

I love DC - wish we had the modes of play in BF2 or SF.

They didnt rip it off at all, all they did was make a game about the same era..

Its like saying bf1942 ripped wolvenstein 3d off.. same time period.

Re: Tribute to DC

After some guys left DC, the fun was gone.Last 2 updates(0.7 and dc final)
Unbalans in the weapons, example: you could shoot some1 with a VSS out of a car, but a rpg let only the car smoking..
Some maps did not work at all, cornerd something ...brrr, and that night map awefull.

Re: Tribute to DC

and if you think about it, BF2:SF, from a vehicle standpoint, had a tribute to DC in its own... Hind, Apache, PickUp Trucks w/guns, HUMVEE w/TOW, the Car, all 1st existed in DC.

Now to give me the Shilka and Littlebirds back and I'm set

Yea, and then fired them.

Yeah right. The anti-tank and anti-air weapons took practice to use, but were VERY effective once you learned to use them. That's something BF2 lacks: a learning curve. Tanks and airplanes SHOULD be more powerful than a soldier on foot, because....well, you give me one reason why a soldier with an M16 should be able to go toe to toe with a T-72.

Agreed. I remember many a high scoring round using the Opposition Spec Ops kit. AKS-74U, AP mines (until they removed them), and C4. It rocked people's faces off.

And Lost Village? Good fun in the streets.
